I love it. I played it for many years, but thanks to its reputation from EDH, it got treated as a combo card rather than a value card, and people would draft it with the expectation they could go infinite with it and then would be disappointed. Technically, I think I did have Nim Deathmantle and...

MBC is a new convention-exclusive* starting with release in November's Magic Con Atlanta product that comes with 59 new cards, one Alchemy card that's getting Vintage legality, ten other foil-only Alchemy reprints (9 of which are new to paper), a couple cards getting Futuresight frames for the...

Full set is now revealed. It's a small set, with only a few clear power level outliers intended for eternal formats in a way that feels extremely calculated to be lower power-level besides a few specific constructed plants (more than most sets, I mean), similar to how I felt about the last...

Today's already been pretty interesting. First, we got 9 cards from the upcoming 2027 "Battle of Five Armies Co-Op Kit", the new Bilbo of which seems to imply that a "battle" box set will be our first return to the battle card type since MOM came out 3 years ago. That's interesting. Less...

Lovely bird. I think it's just shy of what I'd need, partially because I worry folk will whiff on the Speak Secrets half of the card too often. I love a dude that will help me fill up my graveyard, and I especially like it with ninjutsu/sneak, so I'll keep my eyes on it, but I'm not quite sold...

I was actually feeling the same way. Maybe I'm feeling this way because it's a small set and the spoilers have been slower than in other recent sets. It's a full two-week spoiler season, something we don't even normally get with large sets. We haven't even seen half the cards yet...though I will...

I like equipment sub-themes, but I don't run any the moment -- not even Stoneforge! It's hard to manage the A+B perfectly, and they end up being either too linear or too feast/famine. Still, some cards that contribute to the idea are always nice, and I have plenty of equipment. This seems like a...

Belladonna Took! Bilbo's mom is pretty cool. This is similar to Staff of the Storyteller, which has been excellent for us. The advantages are exciting: more upside potential (the Basri's Solidarity's effect is real good in a token deck), not having to pay for the card draw, bigger body on ETB...

Noisemaker is fantastic. I think if you have enough sacrifice support, it's just a better YoungP, a card I famously have issues with. I'd rather go wide than go tall with my tokens, but the second toughness and practically doubling the amount of cards that trigger it, especially in a world where...

I don't normally do this but I was procrastinating so I made my early changes for this set in Cube from just what's been spoiled already. I'm really excited about this set and its mechanics, even if it is a small set. Restoration of Eiganjo is indeed a good comp, but the thing that makes that...

I was going to clean up my desktop and realized I forgot to talk about this card: Ajani Resolute. I think any 2mv planeswalker is inherently worthy of discussion. This one is asking you to spend three turns to make an Ajani's Pridemate token for the same price, so on its face, it's easy to...

Oh no I hate the art on all versions of Stingcaster Mage :(((( Liliana the Repentant is interesting, with lots of comps but nothing that does it all together like this. If it triggered off itself, I'd be much more willing to try it out. Mire Triton is a great glue card for Cubes over a huge...

New mechanically unique card: Stardew Valley What I like: The Shire was perfectly fine, but making it colorless makes it potentially easier to slot in for me. Having card draw as an emergency button on a land is also pretty sweet, even if it won't be used too often. I feel like it'll play...

I recently added Rydia inspired by @Nanonox, and I've been super happy with her. Originally, the saga text was a distraction, as I really liked her for the landfall ability so much that I didn't mind what I considered trinket text, but the more I looked at my Cube, the more I realized there are...

Really glad you're getting good use out of the Griselbrand tool, it's been a fantastic time suck for me, and I like the 30 Cubes you're following. Excellent curation there. I think you've got some great swaps and you're right to add a little more interaction. The cuts are right, too. Tinker is...

I don't know why I didn't consider this myself, huh. Cityscape Leveler Triplicate Titan I'm currently running Cityscape Leveler and Triplicate Titan (and Emrakul, the Promised End, but that's kind of different, but I kind of like this more than both of those. By having unnearth, Cityscape...

To boldly go where no Magic card has gone before! Star Trek: Universes Beyond Release Date: November 13th, 2026 Pre-Release: November 6th, 2026 Design Lead: Gavin Verhey Vision Lead: Ethan Fleischer Codes: TRK, TRC, SDS Products: Main set (est. 350 unique cards), 4 commander decks, 10 jumpstart...

I haven't gotten an IRL Cube in since making my Marvel additions, but I have done a lot of online drafts, both against bots on CubeCobra and in the retail limited environment (which isn't very good). I had been feeling pretty good about my assessments, though I had a couple changes I wanted to...

I'm currently running lots of these cards and their ilk in a way that crosses over well with the Rx discard-matters, Grixis reanimator decks, RU welder, and GB graveyard-matters decks. Ivora, Insatiable Heir Fear of Missing Out Anje's Ravager Seasoned Pyromancer Tersa Lightshatter Veronica...

According to this incredible tool I recently found called Griselbrand.com, a Cube of my size should be running approximately 9 cards from MSH/MSC if I were to behave like the rest of my peer group (warning: long loading time, but it's worth it). After a bit of online testing, it looks like I'll...
